<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientCoinnoisseur, post: 25277383, member: 154225&quot;]Hello everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p>First of all, I want to introduce myself: I like ancient coins and I like making infographics and studies about them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am now trying to make an infographic to easily distinguish <b><u>different types of Athenian Owl Tetradrachms</u></b> and I was wondering if my chronology is roughly correct.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you in advance for any help.

I have no idea since I don&#039;t know where to read her work.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>Any additional subdivisions I should keep in mind?</u></b></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I am not sure where I should put the <b><i>mass issue coins</i></b> and if they fall in the Pi-Style macro category.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance, and <u>if you have any clues on how to distinguish different categories, please feel free to help me in my task</u>![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
